A favorite model for either the white or one of these light pastel colored gowns is tu,aae entirely in tucks, but is trim- med either with heavy Irish lace or with black velvet, on which is an ap- plique of heavy lace or cut work. This mod,e1 has beeni made up for young girie but is more suitable for older women, as it is rather intricate and elaborate, and there is no ques- tion that the simpler effects are bet- ter for youthful figures. There are many women who will not—no matter what the fashion may be—wear light color% and they have their gowns mado of blue, brown or black.

Tine plain backs, which we have worn so long, are slowly going out. When the skirts are not pleated, they are either tucked, or they are made with' cross -shaped flounces, Sometimes, again, they are piped with velvet.
